Can somebody fill me in? I'm waiting for the wisdom to kick in I fell and I wrecked myself On the fence around your heart Now I'm waiting for the wounds to heal No lesson learned so far Puttin' names on stars through a telescope It's a little bit funny, a little numb And then we turn into ashes, and ashes to stone When we close, oh They're puttin' names on stars through a telescope And I can't even figure love out, how little I know When we close When we close When we close When we close Puttin' names on stars through a telescope It's a little bit funny, a little numb And then we turn into ashes, and ashes to stone When we close, oh They're puttin' names on stars through a telescope And I can't even figure love out, how little I know When we close
